This kind of gave me a rally around the flag effect so I left a 10 USD donation.
I was thinking about building an explicitly socialist project on there so I hope it will compensate for maybe risking increasing said far-right attention in the future.
If the far-right hates Codeberg, that only tells me Codeberg is doing something right.
Well left but yes
The Message clearly stated that it was far-right, not left.
The joke being “they must be doing something left”
I don’t get it, sorry.
Left instead of right. That’s all there is to the joke. Replacing the word right with left because it’s not a right wing thing.
Codeberg isn’t doing something right. They’re doing something left by opposing these people on the right.
That’s a great response. Makes me really respect the people who run Codeberg.
Codeberg is one of the best websites on the Internet right now. This blog update of theirs doubly confirms it for me.
what’s the point in attacking a source control website anyways?
Well the open source crowd is probably one of the most diverse communities in so many ways.
Everything from wife-killers, toenail-eaters, to geniuses that rolled a one in social skills. From Mexico, to Israel, to Indonesia. From a kid in the library who can’t afford a computer, to millionaires running a data centre in their basement.
Diversity is one-third of DEI, which currently is public enemy number one. So here we are…
Everything from wife-killers, toenail-eaters, to geniuses
Stop spying on me please.
Yes yes… Dear genious 😌
It’s probably to make minorities feel unsafe, even in their own spaces.
Classic case of coop the resistance by introducing completely different talking points.
FOSS is not left or right, it’s FOSS. Those trying to change it to something else is trying to coop it.
There is no controversy. The blue vs red lens does not make sense in this context.
Sharing your work without cost to people who need it is pretty solidly left. But it certainly isn’t red vs blue, not least because party political colors vary by country and in the US, neither refers to a left-wing party, and in most countries red aligns with left.
Did Codeberg do something/take some stance to attract the attention of the far right? It feels like such an arbitrary target?
From what I gather, I don’t think it’s about any stance from Codeberg in general, it seems they are attacking “several projects advocating tolerance and equal rights” in particular. They just happen to be hosted in Codeberg.
I’ve never heard of codeberg. Can someone explain what it is, briefly?
Edit: I love being downvoted for asking a simple question. I thought I left reddit to get away from these twits.
The other answers are right, just explaining in simpler language in case anyone needs it:
Codeberg, like Gitlab and Github, is a site for hosting and managing code repositories. These make it easy for many people to collaborate on a software project, review code, keep track of changes and history, keep track of bugs and feature requests, and more.
Here’s an example of a (very active) code project to explore: https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity (An audio editor based on Audacity)
The most famous code repo management tool, GitHub, was bought by Microsoft a few years ago, so reliable community-run alternatives like Codeberg are increasingly important.
Is the term “far-right” used to mean anyone who doesn’t obey marching orders and won’t conform to opinions of others?
No, it’s used to mean anyone who’s extremely likely to obey marching orders, dancing orders, camping orders, attack orders (jan 6th on USA, jan 8th on Brazil) and conform to the opinions of their masters
Dude, do you think a group that hates “diversity” in its every shape and form is just “moderate”?
There is no such thing as diversity if nobody is allowed to reject what you believe in, reject your opinions, a la “diverse opinions and beliefs”.
